IF YOU CARE 72x36-Inch Cheesecloth, Unbleached, 2-Square Yards (Pack of 6)

When I first opened my package I was worried that the weave on this cheesecloth was too wide, and that I would have to fold and layer it many times before I could use it to strain yogurt. As I have with other brands of cheesecloth, I ran this cloth through the clothes washer (warm water wash, medium heat dry). It came out with a tighter weave. I used it, and it worked well. I then ran it through the wash again, just to get it cleaned. (I don't know if this is the way it's supposed to be cleaned, but I do it anyway!). Once again, the weave came back a little tighter. It was actually at a pretty good, fairly tight weave at this point, after two washes. Of course, the newfound tightness means that the cloth shrank in overall size quite a bit.In order to strain yogurt, I use two of these cloths, each folded in half. (So four layer of this cheesecloth in all.) With the wash-tightened weave, this is perfect. Really, my yogurt strains perfectly. And it comes off the cheesecloth very easily, too. I've used other, cheap brand of cheesecloth that have to be folded layered six or eight or more times, and the the yogurt sticks to the layers. But not this one, it is wonderful!I've washed it probably four times now, and the weave doesn't seem to have gotten any tighter than it did after the first two rounds of washing. That's fine by me; I think it's great the way it is. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I purchased this cheesecloth for making my oregano oil and Cheyenne pepper oil.It strained everything perfectly and held up amazingly well to me having to squeeze out the oil very tightly didn't tear . Will definitely be buying again.

Arrived open and will not accept return. Normally I wouldn’t be that bothered, but because this is intended to be used for making food and I specifically wanted organic unbleached cotton cheesecloth, I am very concerned that I didn’t actually receive what I wanted. If actually receiving organic unbleached cotton cheesecloth is important to you, I guess buy it in person somewhere else.

It's easy to cut the size you need for straining homemade broth into containers. It's easy to cut and put loose leaf teas in the tie up to steep and remove when done.
